The vast majority of women who marry still take their husband's name. And I'm not vilifying that behavior! But that's a pattern where women are truly still taking on their husbands' identities.

I took my son's name. I didn't take my husband's name.

If a woman wants to take her husband's name, that's her choice, and I still think she can be feminist while doing that.

I think I lost my sense of identity when I was married. I know I did. And it took me a very long time to regain it and find out who I was.

Our marriage is strictly in name only. It has never been consummated.

I was named after my mother's maiden name.

Women have had the power of naming stolen from us.

I'm determined not to lose my name. It's who I am. It has neither aided my progress nor hampered it. It's just who I am.

I am an adamant feminist. It never occurred to me to take my husband's name when we married. I am a supporter of abortion rights, of equal pay for equal work, of the rights of women prisoners, of all the time-honored feminist causes, and then some.

I don't care if you marry someone who works at the grocery store or someone who is a director of a company; everyone should have their own identity.
